Open Window Call for Tenders: Network of Pilot Lines for promoting the use of nanocomposites in Industrial Applications

The Open Window call for tenders is part of the activities planned within the scope of the ongoing project NANOLEAP, funded under the H2020 European Research and Innovation Programme. The aim of the call for tenders is to carry out a pilot programme to test and validate the operation of the future network of Pilot Plants set by the NANOLEAP consortium.

SERVICES TO BE OFFERED

The Network intends to offer the following services:

Pre-treatment and functionalisation of nanoparticles or nano-aggregates to ensure optimal compatibility with the bulk matrix and avoid dispersion problems.

Implementation of advanced quality control and process verification technologies to increase production volumes, repeatability and robustness of the products.

Support in the adoption of safer-by-design approaches with the detection, the identification and the characterization of particles emitted in workplace air and the implementation of risk mitigation measures (e.g confinement barriers, collective and personal protective equipment).

BENEFITS FOR POTENTIAL USERS

The selected applicants will be granted free access to the technologies and services offered by the NANOLEAP pilot plants to carry out a research project or a business case supported by the NANOLEAP project. Benefits for users are highlighted in the next figure.

OPEN CALL REQUESTS

Proposals can be received any time until 31th of December 2017 and will be analyzed weeks after their reception. If they fulfilled the specific requirements of the proposal, the agreed work would be immediately initiated based on a first-come-first-served principle. Tenders will be granted until 31st March 2018
